STRUCTURES ENGINEER (STARSHIP)

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop design concepts from a clean sheet and size vehicle structures based on flight loads
  • Collaborate with peers from different vehicle systems to develop designs that balance mass, cost, and capability
  • Create detailed designs to implement structural concepts and generate CAD models in NX for components, assemblies, and vehicle integration
  • Build finite element models to assess your designs in detail and analyze your structures to prove they meet the needs of the vehicle
  • Apply first-order hand calculations and empirical formulas to assess and iterate on your designs rapidly
  • Validate your designs by building development articles to test individual joints and design elements for strength
  • Perform structural testing on subassemblies and full sections of the airframe
  • Partner with build engineers and technicians to improve your designs
  • Support the assembly of your hardware in the factory, witness your designs being brought to life daily, and watch them take flight and make history

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering
  • 1+ years of engineering experience designing, analyzing, or building structures (internship and school projects experience qualify)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience and passion for creating, tinkering, taking things apart, and building them again
  • Ability to communicate mission-critical messaging effectively, explain complex topics succinctly, and ask questions to verify or defend technical rational
  • Demonstrated experience driving and delivering significant outcomes
  • Proven application of passion and curiosity to learn, build, and complete impactful projects.
  • Experience transitioning products from design to manufacturing and optimizing for high-volume
  • Proven experience designing metallic structures, ideally stainless-steel
  • Ability to make informed executive decisions
  • Experience leading or working on an engineering competition team, i.e. Formula SAE, Baja SAE, RoboSub, Combat Robotics or similar

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
